Mindelheim Via Ferrata

The Mindelheimer Klettersteig extends across 10.6 kilometers of mountainous terrain, reaching an elevation of 2,314 meters through four mountain peaks in the Allgäu range.

This fixed-rope climbing route was established in the early 1900s to provide mountaineers with secure access through the challenging terrain of the German-Austrian border region.

The route connects multiple Alpine huts where climbers gather to share experiences and prepare for their ascents while following German mountaineering traditions.

Climbers need to allocate 5.5 hours for completion, bring proper via ferrata equipment, and verify weather conditions at Fiderepasshütte before starting the ascent.

The route features a distinctive ladder bridge crossing a deep gap between rock faces, followed by vertical wall sections across the Schafalpenköpfe summits.
